FF Plus has reason to complain about sewerage in Olifants River
Mr Werner Weber from the FF Plus and Member of the Provincial Legislature (MPL) said this serious step is necessary as little is done to keep the river safe
The constant ‘rape’ of the Olifants River came under the spotlight this past week when the Freedom Front Plus (FF Plus) laid a complaint with the Department of Environmental Affairs, Land, and the Green Scorpions. The FF Plus has lodged a complaint with the acting chief director of Environmental Affairs, Land and the Green Scorpions in Mpumalanga, Ms Pamela Ntuli, about the constant and serious sewage dumping in the province. Mr Werner Weber from the FF Plus and Member of the Provincial Legislature (MPL) said this serious step is necessary as little is done to keep the river safe.
